Abstract: 22,314. Truswell, R. Oct. 9, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Casting.-Anode plates for electrolytic refining are cast head downwards in a multi-part mould mounted on a wheeled support running on rails to and from the tank room. The plate may be cast with projecting lugs 3 as in Fig. 1 or with eyes or other fittings. The body 2 is formed by recessed parts 5, Fig. 4, riveted or bolted together and provided with trunnions and a hand-wheel 22 supported on a carriage 21. The head end is formed by parts 7 bevelled at 8<1> to join with the parts 5 and having lugs 9 sliding on V-guides on brackets 11 carried by the latter parts. After rolling, the mould is run to the tank room, and, when the metal has set, is inverted, and the parts 7 are withdrawn by screws 12 bevel geared to a common hand-wheel. Fig. 7 shows a modified form of joint between the parts 5, 7 to enable the latter parts to be sustained better against the head of metal when in the pouring position.

Title: Improved Method and Means of Radio-telegraphy and Radio-telephony.
Inventor: WEBB JAMES HENRY
Filed: 1907-04-02
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 7687. Webb, J. H. April 2. Telegraphs; telephone systems.-In a method of producing electric oscillations having a high spark-frequency, a double condenser K<1>, K<2> of large capacity is continuously charged by integrating the impulses from the transformer T<2> by means of valve-tubes V<1> V<2>, a small percentage of the energy being used to charge the relatively small condenser O in the oscillation circuit O E S. The valve-tubes have their unlike electrodes connected to the condensers, and may be replaced by a system of points and plates possessing uni - directional conductivity. The double condenser is thus charged to twice the potential of the transformer, and is connected to the oscillation - circuit through high adjustable resistances R', R<2>, or by a convection method in which a pair of rotating disks W, Fig. 3, of dielectric material is provided with a pair of inductors R', R<2> connected to the double condenser and with a pair of collecting-brushes R<3>, R<4> connected to the oscillation circuit. Telegraphic signals may be sent by varying the inductive coupling between the oscillation circuit and the antenna, or by changing the periodicity of one of the oscillation circuits, or by connecting the aerial or the earth to the oscillation circuit. In telephony, the microphone is arranged in series or in shunt with one of the components of the oscillating system, preferably so as to short-circuit a part of the capacity associated with the radiating-circuit.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ventilators.
Inventor: JONES HUGH SNOWIE
Filed: 1907-04-10
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 8353. Jones, H. S. April 10. Ventilators.-A roof ventilator for motor road vehicles consists of a series of tubes B mounted in a casing A above the roof. The tubes are cut away longitudinally at one end and are covered in by a plate c so as to divide the tubes into portions b, b<3>, of which the portion b is in communication with a chamber C, and the portion b<3> with a flared mouth a. Air passing through the flared mouth a, owing to the motion of the vehicle, creates a partial vacuum in the chamber C and draws off foul air from the vehicle through a hit-and-miss valve c'. The tubes B are sloped as shown to prevent the ingress of rain &c. and a deflector D is fitted at the outer end. Modifications are described in which the casing A is dispensed with and in which a single tube is employed instead of a series. The ventilator may be mounted so that the mouth a can be turned in any desired direction. According to the Provisional Specification, in the case of a motor-driven vehicle the exhaust of the motor may be used to exhaust foul air from the vehicle through the ventilator.
